The thing is: when you go to look at a 6.0 for purchase, you REALLY have to KNOW what you're doing and what to look for.

And it's not lift the hood and see if it looks clean or stomping the throttle around the block. Ya gotta get in there with wrenches, scopes, diagnostic tools and you need to know the breed.

Get it while it's still good and you're in like flint. You'll get a modern powerhouse of a diesel for pennies compared to it's contemporaries.

Get a hold of one someone has patched up after a pop and you're in for a world of hurt and the biggest money pit you've ever seen.....

Depends, A good friend works on Powerstrokes All day, He was telling me the 6L's are better after they pop because of the mods alot of people do so they DONT again.

Couldnt pay fast enough...

Hey, I got one of the best deals ever on a GMT400, I bought it in bc for $1000! Rebuilt engine,trans and new gm G80 all with 99,000kms when I bought it the chassis has 270,000 but couldnt tell. Found a set of 3, '09 Avalanche rims from the Hyundai (closed GM dealer) for $60 found a 4th rim on ebay $100. The guy I bought it froms father was pulled over and cited for unsafe vehicle when the police officer pulled the key out while still running, told me needed a new tumbler, went to GM $8 key fixed it. great truck.

True, but most of it revolves around said 700-ish fix.

The rest is just "bonus" because you're dealing with the aftermath of bent rods, blown pistons or maybe even a holed block.

I still would jump all over a clean 6.0 if the price was right.

But I also "kinda sorta" know what I'm doing....

Mr RCMP man ore stepped his bounds there if he reached in the window and pulled 'me out, pulling the key out doesn't classify it as an unsafe vehicle either.

But it worked out good for you!

The officer had given a ticket for a safety certification since the vehicle was still running after he removed the key, it was paper thin.
